Method of doing pradhikshina in temple


What is the method of doing pradhikshina in temple?


If we are circumambulating from one “dwajasthambam” to another “dwajasthambam” then we consider it as one “pradhikshina”. If we consider temple, if we start circumambulating from main entrance and again reach main entrance then it is called one “pradhikshina”.    

  If we consider Lord Hanuman, we say to circumambulate 5 times around the idol, it is said he likes 5 times. But if you have any wish then you may circumambulate 11, 27, 54, 108 times.

   If we consider circumambulating around “Nava Graha” (nine planets), people believe their respective positions will have influence on our life’s. It is said to be 3 times is the best. Again if you have any wish then it’s best to choose odd numbers like 11, 27, 54, 108 times.


Which temple has to be visited and at what time



Early morning we have to visit lord maha Vishnu temple and during evening time it is recommended to visit lord Shiva temple. Lord Vishnu is known to be event controller so it is believed that if we are praying him during early morning, he will be removing all obstacles from our life. Using our intelligence he will try to remove obstacles and make our life’s go peacefully.

   Lord Shiva is called “Laya kara”, in other words he works like a catalyst, so if we are visiting
Lord Shiva then he will boost the goodness (punya).

   Whenever we are going to temple, we should remind ourselves that we are here to attain mental peace so we should not be in hurry to complete prayer. We have to dilute ourselves toward lord and assume his idol in our heart or on the forehead.

Why do we Chant Arjuna Phalguna on Thunder Storm | 10 Names of Arjun

Arjuna Phalguna: Thunderstorm occurs naturally; our ancestors say not to stay under a tree when there is a thunderstorm. If we observe storms occur mostly over trees. Also now a day we have learned that we should not be even below telephone poles or electric poles. Scientists say that there may be a slight discharge of electricity from them which is not safe to humans. Also many suggest that instead of standing on the ground sleeping is good, even if you are struck from storm sleeping position helps to lower the risk as storm energy is absorbed by earth (as earth acts as a neutral body) From our childhood, whenever there is a thunderstorm our parents utter the word “ Arjuna Phalguna ”, there is a small story from Mahabharat epic behind uttering those words. When Pandavas are returning from the forest, Arjuna brings Uttara to Sami tree for weapons. In order to rescue cows stolen from Duryodhana and Karna, Arjuna says to bring down weapons from the tree. During that period o

Star influence when attaining puberty

What is the influence of stars when girl reaches puberty stage? In India, people give a lot of importance when their child reaches puberty stage. It reminds the child parents that they have become old and their responsibilities have grown.             When it comes to astrology, people believe stars play important role in their lives. There is a belief that stars change their effect/influence on a girl. Stars have one kind of effect on a girl before her puberty and other effect after puberty. So when a girl reaches puberty stage, father (head of the family) rushes to astrologer to know stars influence on her child. By this they can know good or bad signs going to happen in future.              Even if the stars influence during the attainment of puberty is bad, there are few options to please the lord of the star by performing some pujas and homas.              People have much ambiguity about stars and influence on their lives. Here are some details... Nakshatra Influe
